Diary of a fat kid who turned into a fat dude !

Weekly weigh in

Today I weighed in at

19st0lbs

meaning a 6 lbs loss this week.

Glad with that overall had a weekend long budget meeting with work and had to drop a pack in favour of a chicken salad from Nandos and then a chicken skewer with peppers the next day, was very worried id gain weight in light of that so quite happy to have lost and be on the cusp of the 18 stone mark (almost a stone ahead of where I thought id be).

already had to buy a belt for my "new" jeans so thats good and all !

Decided as well for my stag do I will eat enough to take myself out of ketosis (starting Friday) but not going to pig out !

Wow, wow, wow!!! What great losses! You must be so proud of yourself! Regarding your previous question re stress; hmm, its a difficult one. I too, am an emotional eater in the way that if I have a bad day at work I'll WANT rubbish food and a bottle of wine! I am only day 5 and haven't had to cope with the 'stress' situation yet but when I do, I think I will just need to do something to distract me! Like taking a long bubble bath. Now; my fiance is doing SS+ and theres no way he'd take a bubble bath for stress so perhaps that wouldn't be for you either.......I also distract myself by writing lists. Of how much I have left to lose, of particular goals and what I am going to do when I achieve these goals.....so, when I get into the 11s I'm going to have a manicure. When I get into the 10s I'll have a beauty treatment. Perhaps thats just me being odd!

Out of interest; what did you do in the end?

I guess I am and fitting into all these clothes is nice but as I live with myself every day its so hard to see the weight loss as I'm such a large bugger anyway ! I am positive though and im wearing the same waist jeans and tops as when I left school 10 years ago so thats defiantly good!

good tips in and around the stress aspect in the end I just let it all wash over me and realized none of it really matters but I was pretty annoyed and stressed at the time ! I think its just a function of being 2 months without "proper" food at this point at some point the craving for it outweighs all the good will and desire to be thin but the realization that YOU have to put the food in the mouth helps a lot so I thought about it had my shake and distracted myself !

Stag do over and I gained.....

1 lb

making me 19st01lb

not bad for a weekend of drinking and food and now I have 3 solid weeks to hit my goal of 18 stone 8 (5 stone total!)

 

[korbendallas]

So weighed in and I am down to

18st09lb

meaning a 6 lbs loss this week.

Feeling great my target for my wedding was 19 and a half stone, it looks like with 2 weeks to go before I could be 18 stone ! which is amazing some people coming to the wedding havent seen me in over a year (or two!) and I wont feel ashamed having my picture taken at least.

After the honeymoon im back on it until I hit my target then

 

[korbendallas]

SO my wedding turned into my honeymoon which turned into Christmas and I am 10lbs heaver for basically being off it and eating like a nutter for 3 months (and drinking) sending me to Italy for a honeymoon wasnt wise!

Anyway I'm back on it now and shedding weight again, it feels very odd given the extended break but as I only have about 3 stone to go to my personal goal it seems a bit silly to not even try for it
